Abstract

Organotin compounds having the formula R3 SnX or R4 Sn are prepared by reacting metallic zinc with organotin compounds having the formula RSnX3 or R2 SnX2, wherein X stands for chlorine, bromine, iodine or an alkyl carboxylate group having the formula Cp H2p+l COO, wherein p=1-18, and R represents an organic group.
Satisfactory yields are obtained under mild reaction conditions and without any catalyst being needed if both in the reacting organotin compounds and in the organotin compounds obtained the group R has the structure ##STR1## with A being selected from the group consisting of alkyl having 1-18 carbon atoms, O-alkyl having 1-18 carbon atoms and optionally carrying an alkoxy group having 1-18 carbon atoms, polyoxyalkylene consisting of oxyalkylene groups having 1-4 carbon atoms and carrying as terminal group alkyl or a hydrogen atom, O-cycloalkyl, O-alkenyl having 2-4 carbon atoms, O-phenyl, NH2 and alkyl substituted amino, and Cl.

Description

The invention relates to a process of preparing organotin compounds having the formula R4-n SnXn, wherein n=0 or 1, by reacting metallic zinc with organotin compounds having the formula R4-m SnXm, wherein m=2 or 3, and X stands for chlorine, bromine, iodine or an alkyl carboxylate group having the formula Cp H2p+1 COO, wherein p=1-18, and R represents an organic group.
A process of the type indicated is described in J. Organometal. Chem. 11 (1968), p. 503-513. The process of the type indicated above particularly relates to the conversion of dialkyltin dichloride into trialkyltin chloride and tetraalkyltin in the presence of certain metals, such as zinc. The reported yields of these conversions, if any, are generally low. Moreover, the conversions require a high reaction temperature (160° C., autoclave) and in the case of a non-aqueous reaction medium the presence of an organic base, like triethylamine or pyridine, as catalyst.
It is an object of this invention to provide a process for the preparation of organotin compounds giving satisfactory yields under mild reaction conditions and without any catalyst being needed. The objects of the present invention are accomplished if the conversion is carried out with organotin compounds of a specific composition.
According to the invention both in the reacting organotin compounds and in the organotin compounds obtained the organic group R has the structure ##STR2## with A being selected from the group consisting of alkyl having 1-18 carbon atoms, O-alkyl having 1-18 carbon atoms and optionally carrying an alkoxy group having 1-18 carbon atoms, polyoxyalkylene consisting of oxyalkylene groups having 1-4 carbon atoms and carrying as terminal group alkyl or a hydrogen atom, O-cycloalkyl, O-alkenyl, having 2-4 carbon atoms, O-phenyl, NH2 and alkyl substituted amino, and Cl.
Examples of alkyl having 1-18 carbon atoms are methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, 2-ethyl hexyl, nonyl, decyl, dodecyl and octadecyl. Examples of O-alkyl having 1-18 carbon atoms are methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, n-butoxy, and octadecyloxy. Examples of polyoxyalkylene consisting of oxyalkylene groups having 1-4 carbon atoms and carrying as terminal group alkyl or a hydrogen atom are ethoxyethyloxy and n-butoxyethyloxyethyloxy. An example of O-cycloalkyl is O-cyclohexyl. An example of O-alkenyl having 2-4 carbon atoms in allyloxy. Examples of alkyl substituted amino are N-methylamino and N,N-dimethylamino. The organotin compounds of formula R4-m SnXm with m=2 or 3 and wherein R and X are as defined above are of a type generally known in the art.
Thus the compounds RSnX3 and a useful method for their preparation are for instance described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,105,684.
Similarly, the compounds R2 SnX2 and their preparation are described in British Patent Specification No. 1 502 073. Quite unexpectedly and in contrast to the mono- and dialkyltin compounds these known compounds, wherein R has the structure as defined above, can be easily converted with metallic zinc into the corresponding compounds R3 SnX and R4 Sn.
Although the invention generally contemplates the conversion of either RSnX3 or R2 SnX2 into R3 SnX and/or R4 Sn, it has further been found that certain preferred embodiments are applicable.
Thus, in preparing R3 SnX from the corresponding RSnX3 it is preferred to react the latter with metallic zinc in an organic solvent medium and at a temperature not exceeding about 35° C. If on the other hand one wishes to convert R2 SnX2 into the corresponding R3 SnX it is advisable that the reaction be carried out with metallic zinc in an organic solvent medium at a temperature above about 35° C. Conveniently, in this case an organic solvent having an atmospheric boiling point above about 35° C. is employed and the reaction carried out at the atmospheric reflux temperature of the solvent medium.
Finally, when it is desired to prepare the compound R4 Sn this can suitably be achieved by continuing reacting R2 SnX2 with metallic zinc under the foregoing conditions for a sufficient length of time.
By properly selecting the period over which the reaction with zinc is allowed to proceed it is possible to obtain either predominantly R3 SnX or R4 Sn. Of course, at intermediate reaction times a mixture of the conversion products is obtained which may subsequently be separated. Similarly, the compound RSnCl3 may be converted into R4 Sn.
The conversion products obtained by the process of this invention are of potential interest for their biological activities.
The antifungal properties of a number of functionally substituted organotin compounds have been reported in J. Appl. Chem. 11, 38-40 (1961).
Specifically, one compound of subject type R3 SnX has been so reported therein, namely tri-(2-methoxycarbonylethyl)tin bromide. Compounds of subject type R4 Sn are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,332,970.
By way of illustration various embodiments of the invention are presented in the following examples.
CONVERSION OF RSnX3 INTO R3 SnX EXAMPLE I
60 g of 2-methoxycarbonylethyltin trichloride Cl3 SnCH2 CH2 COOCH3 were dissolved in 300 ml of diethyl ether. 33 g of zinc powder were then added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours.

5 g of di(2-N,N-dimethyl-ethylcarbonamide)tin diacetate and 2 g of zinc powder were reacted in 50 ml of toluene under reflux for 10 hours with stirring, cooled and filtered. The mixture was then processed as in Example XXIII to give 2.2 g of a pale yellow oil identified as tetra (2-N,N-dimethyl-ethylcarbonamide)tin, Sn(CH2 CH2 CON(CH3)2)4 (yield 74%).
EXAMPLE XXXI
10 g of di(2-n-butoxycarbonylethyl)tin dilaurate and 2 g of zinc powder were reacted in 100 ml of toluene under reflux for 10 hours with stirring, cooled and filtered. The mixture was treated with water and refiltered. The organic layer of the filtrate was washed with dilute sodium bicarbonate solution and then water. The organic layer was then dried over magnesium sulphate and the solvent was removed on a thin-film evaporator to give 3.2 g of a colourless oil, identified as tetra(2-n-butoxycarbonylethyl)tin, Sn(CH2 CH2 COOn-C4 H9)4 (yield 78%).
EXAMPLE XXXII
10 g of di(2-n-butoxycarbonylethyl)tin distearate and 2 g of zinc powder were reacted in 100 ml of toluene under reflux for 10 hours with stirring, cooled and filtered. The filtrate was then processed as in Example XXXI to give 2.5 g of a colourless oil which was identified as tetra(2-n-butoxycarbonlyethyl)tin, Sn(CH2 CH2 COOn-C4 H9)4 (yield 74%).
CONVERSION OF RSnX3 INTO R4 Sn EXAMPLE XXXIII
42 g of 2-methoxycarbonylethyltin trichloride were dissolved in 350 ml of diethyl ether and 26 g of zinc powder were added. The mixture was heated under reflux with rapid stirring for 36 hours. The mixture was filtered and the residue was washed with dimethoxyethane. The combined filtrates were treated with gaseous HCl, then washed with dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. The solvent was then removed on a thin film evaporator to leave 12.5 g of a colourless oil, which consisted of a mixture of 75 wt.% tetra (2-methoxycarbonylethyl)tin and 25 wt.% of tri (methoxycarbonylethyl)tin chloride. The tetra organotin compound was subsequently separated in accordance with the procedure of Example XIX, resulting in 9.4 g of a colourless oil, identified as tetra(2-methoxycarbonylethyl)tin (yield 60%).
